Monday Morning Coffee: The Year of the Dog


Dog is man's good friend who can understand the human's spirit and obey its master.  The Chinese regard it as an auspicious animal. If a dog happens to come to a house, it symbolizes the coming of fortune.

Each year in Chinese astrology is represented by an animal and one of five elements; Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. The year 2018 is represented by the Dog of the Earth element. According to astrologist Susan Levitt, traits associated with this variety of Dog include, "stable, honest, practical, industrious, prudent, reliable, kind, and loyal."

The year, in general, is slated to be of good fortune. Levitt sums it up by saying on her site, "Dog year is a time of fairness and equality. Controversial issues are given their due, revolutions are successful, politics are liberal, and political oppression is opposed. Integrity and honesty are the values that lead to success under Dog’s watchful and just influence." 

 Fairness is a key characteristic here. And there will be a balance between working and playing hard. You'll definitely want to find a sunny spot to nap in.
